Question - Why is Node.js preferred over other backend technologies like Java and PHP?
Answer -
Some of the reasons why Node.js is preferred include:
- Node.js is very fast
- Node Package Manager has over 50,000 bundles available at the developer’s disposal
- Perfect for data-intensive, real-time web applications, as Node.js never waits for an API to return data
- Better synchronization of code between server and client due to same code base
- Easy for web developers to start using Node.js in their projects as it is a JavaScript library
